Kelly Oubre Jr. was coming off a struggling performance against the Los Angeles Lakers in the previous game, but he and the rest of the Phoenix Suns bounced back at full force on Thursday in a dominant victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
The man known as Tsunami Papi began making waves early and often. Following a strong display of effort from Oubre on defense during the Hawks’ first possession, the Suns forced the miss and the fast break was on. Ricky Rubio grabbed the board and quickly pushed the ball up the court to Oubre as he split through defenders for the first score of the game.
